Private Tours & Trips in France
If you choose a private France tour, you’ll see so much more than just Paris. While Paris is certainly worth checking out, how about Mont Saint-Michel, D-Day beaches, Omaha, and Lyon cuisine at Les Halles. Head to Normandy, Loire Valley, and the historic Ile de la Cité. Private means flexible schedule, spending longer places you like, skipping tourist traps. You're controlling the pace and focusing on areas based on your specific interests.

So Provence did an excellent job planning our trip for us! They organized tours that immersed us in the flavor of Provence. Every tour leader was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable! They made sure we had every transportation connection.
Discovery of the Hinterland of ProvenceVery good tour. We had previously seen many of the attractions offered, so chose to visit Bordeaux (and tried to go to Strasbourg, too, but didn't have enough energy). The hotel choices were very good, and the transfers between airports and train tickets worked perfectly. Communication with the company was very good, too. Self-guided tours are definitely the way to go.
Paris and Côte d'Azur (the French Riviera) - Paris, Marseille & Nice in 8 DaysWe had a fabulous time! Everyone who scheduled our tours, the drivers to our hotel and to the airports were professionals were very courteous. I’m definitely scheduling my next tour through Tourradar!

Southern destinations like Provence work better in April May or September-October before summer temperatures climb to 95°F (35°C). The Burgundy region draws particular praise in May as vineyards begin their growing season under mild spring weather that's ideal for exploring.
What are the most popular Private tour regions to visit in France?
Private tours focus on three main regions: the Loire Valley's castle route the celebrated vineyards of Burgundy and Provence's countryside dotted with lavender and historic villages. The Loire Valley opens doors to architectural treasures like Château de Chambord and Château de Chenonceau. Burgundy's itineraries include tastings at distinguished estates such as Château Clos Vougeot. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels were fantastic really enjoyed our stays at l'Hotel Hermitage Hotel Les Sables D'Ocre and Hotel du Poete."
What types of accommodation can I expect on a Private tour in France?
Accommodations range from elegant 3-star hotels to historic châteaux properties. The Dordogne region offers stays in restored 11th-century castles and 4-star villas built on ancient Gallo-Roman foundations. In Burgundy guests often stay at properties like the Hotel Grillon in Beaune a 19th-century estate featuring a swimming pool and gardens. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The hotels were varied but all were wonderful and the staff friendly. The dinners were out of this world."
What unique experiences are included in Private France tours?
These tours unlock exclusive experiences across France. Visitors enjoy private tastings at Bordeaux's finest châteaux hands-on cooking workshops in Provence and special access to museums like the Louvre after regular hours. Activities might include electric bike rides on the Cézanne Route or private boats exploring the Calanques. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The E-bike tour was most enjoyable and Jerome was a wonderful guide. The tour to the Luberon villages was delightful."
How much walking/cycling is involved in Private tours in France?
Activity levels adapt to guest preferences but generally include moderate exercise spanning 2-6 hours daily. Cycling routes in the Loire Valley cover 40-75km on mostly level ground while walking tours through Burgundy's wine country range from 8-16km each day.

What's the typical duration of a Private tour in France?
Most private tours run 5 to 9 days allowing thorough exploration of each region. The Provence Secrets tour spans 5 days in Luberon National Park while Burgundy wine tours typically extend to 7 days through the Grand Crus vineyards.
